<br />2 of 4 <br />Environmental Health Department <br /> <br />6. Email notification to ust@sjgov.org to arrange the following inspection appointments. All <br />appointments must be scheduled at least 48 hours in advance. <br /> <br />INSPECTIONS PRIOR TO BACKFILL <br />a) Inspection of tank vacuum gauge or for brine leaks prior to tank placement in excavation. <br />b) Verification of tank set, anchorage, appropriate backfill, and appropriate additional corrosion protection <br />of tank anchors (turnbuckles, eye bolts, etc.). Additional corrosion protection is required on all exposed <br />metal prior to backfill. <br />c) Primary tank test, in accordance with manufacturer specifications. <br />d) Primary piping test: Soap test of all piping joints and penetrations (product, vapor recovery, vent, and <br />chase), and pressure testing – hydrostatically at 150% of design operating pressure or pneumatically <br />at 110% of operating pressure. If the calculated test pressure is less than 40 psi, 40 psi shall be used <br />as the test pressure. Testing must be conducted in accordance with manufacturer specifications and <br />California Code of Regulations (CCR) Title 23. <br />e) Secondary piping test: Soap test of all piping and penetrations (product, vapor recovery, vent, and <br />chase), and pressure test, in accordance with manufacturer specifications. <br />f) Verification of secondary piping slope for all piping (product, vapor recovery, vent, and chase) at 1/8 <br />inch per foot or greater, to a containment sump with an audible and visual alarm. Piping slope must <br />be adequate at the start of this inspection, with all piping in its final position and ready to be backfilled <br />without adjustments per the manufacturer’s installation instructions. <br />g) Verification of all pipe setbacks, cross-overs, and burial depth, in accordance with manufacturer <br />specifications, and verification of appropriate piping backfill. <br />h) Integrity testing of all sumps, in accordance with manufacturer specifications. <br /> <br />INSPECTIONS PRIOR TO FIRST FUEL DELIVERY <br />i) Verification of leak monitoring communication for all installed vacuum, pressure, or hydrostatic (VPH) <br />components, including piping, sumps, under dispenser containment sumps (UDCs), and all chase <br />lines. Communication at end points of each vacuum zone and each vacuum monitored sump must be <br />verified independently in operating condition. <br />j) Verification of the dispenser footprints contained by the UDCs. Any potential leaks from piping and <br />fuel filters must drain directly into UDCs. <br />k) Enhanced Leak Detection (ELD) testing, after facility is in operating condition. Appropriate test <br />notification and tester certifications are required. Passing ELD test results must be submitted to the <br />EHD within 60 days of testing. ELD test results must be received by the EHD before written approval <br />to deposit fuel will be issued. <br />l) Verification of liquid and vapor tightness component installation (shroud boots and band clamps for <br />spill containers, appropriate rubber-type gasket or clamps on lids on all fill, vent, and STP sumps, etc.). <br />m) Verification of overfill prevention: Measurement of drop tubes to verify 95% tank volume shut off, <br />verification of external audible/visual alarm activation when tank is 90% full, or other approved method. <br />n) Spill bucket test: Verify minimum 5-gallon capacity. Pass a one hour hydrostatic test (or equivalent). <br />Verify proper drainage method. <br />o) Monitoring system functionality: Functionality of the monitoring system, including all liquid and vacuum <br />sensors, must be verified to ensure it meets the requirements of CCR Title 23 and California Health & <br />Safety Code (HSC) Chapter 6.7. <br />
